Level 11 Inspired Blade with Butterfly's Sting plus an allied level 11 fighter with a scythe


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


Or would this make for a decent use of leadership?

Level 11 Inspired Blade can spend two panache points to autocrit (first grants Int bonus to attack)

Friendly fighter is flanking with a scythe. Toss a burst effect on it for good measure.

Pop a crit and hand it off, get that x4 with a fighter stacking huge modifiers.

Thoughts?


An elemental burst on a scythe adds 1d6+3d10 for an average of 20 bonus elemental damage.

Lead Blades/Impact + Enlarge gives you an extra 22 raw damage. Takes more effort to set up, but gives a larger benefit that's more widely useful.
Bonus points if the fighter is somehow using a large scythe or a tetsubo (or a large tetsubo. That's, what, 72 damage from the weapon dice alone?)


It's effective. Two 11th level pure martial characters built to synergise, within 5' of the same enemy and expending some resources should be effective, of course.


Have the Fighter be a 10th level Two-Handed Fighter to pick up fun things like Overhead Chop, Weapon Training, and Backswing... and that ever-popular dip into Living Monolith bringing them to level 11.

Although, 11th level Two-Handed Fighter gets Piledriver, and qualifies for Deadly Finish... which gives a free Bull Rush or Trip on any single attack, and turns every killing blow into a Coup de Grace, respectively.

Could have the Fighter VMC Rogue for some Sneak Attack, since you'll probably be Flanking...
